[Asterisk-Users] Spanish, Portuguese, other recordings for Allison
Hello - I am going to have Allison record some "intro" messages in my next round of text to her. I'd like to have a consistent voice during the first messages at a company, even if the user presses buttons that take them to a different voice for the alternate language. In other words, I'd like to have Allison say: Thank you for calling Foo, Incorporated. Para continuar en espa?ol, presione un. If you know the extension of the person you wish to reach, dial it now. For sales, press 3. For... [etc.] The trick here is to have the leader into the alternate language in the same voice as the rest of the primary message - I don't want to have two people's voices in the main intro for an IVR system. I'd like to have Allison record in her voice the short phrases in alternate languages, but I am uncertain if she has a full grasp of the pronunciation of these short phrase groups. I would like to get someone with a good accent in Spanish and Portuguese to send me via email the following phrases as a recording (.mp3 or .wav) so I can have Allison mimic the accent and pronunciation when she records it in her own voice. Since my translation is limited to babblefish, I won't even translate here what the words should be - you're the native speaker, you tell me what it should sound like. :-) For [Spanish, Portuguese, etc.], press To continue in [Spanish, Portuguese, etc.], press one two three four five six seven eight nine zero star [the star key, or whatever word is used for that key] pound [the pound, or hash, key or whatever word is used for that key] Other Western European languages are welcome, though I expect Allison may have a tough time with languages if they are distant from English. As usual, these will be made publicly available to the Asterisk community. JT
